I am not going to panic after one game, but this is going to be a tougher division that last year and we are no stronger than last season. Of course we can but not whilst we continue to approach games in this manner. The Alan Irvine respect approach with 25x the budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a big repair job to do now Good? Amazing more like. I wonder what Stuart Gray would have done with the dreamland budget CC has been handed on a plate? He got us to 13th on a wing and a prayer. CC is easily the most pampered manager in the Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crofty_11 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Don't apologize - just play 4-3-3 & start fu**ing going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's alright Carlos giving pre match press pep talks to the fans to back the players but he needs to start giving us summet to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 About time Carlos. You owed us an apology for the play offs too. Change your approach quick or you are gone before the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like us to do something like this Tuesday, or 3-5-2 If it means some of those who played today have to turn out again then so be it Just try something more attacking!

JoshTheOwl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Reckon he has a list of words to say before we've even lost. Fed up already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not good enough. This garbage should have ended with the Huddersfield game. In terms of progression or re-energising this group for a third push at promotion, this summer has been an absolute disgrace. Today's sh*t performance and the resulting backlash is absolutely warranted and you'd have been blind not to see it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) It's quite frankly a joke we have this abundance of riches up front yet we play so negatively and create nothing. Alright it's one gAme in but it seems nothing has changed in our approach. Bringing Jones on at 0-0 sums Carlos up.

Mystic Neg Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Carlos you can shove it pal, it appear's you have finally been found out and even your staunchest of supporters are turning. You remind me of a 17 year old me trying to fire on through a whole season of Champ Manager '97 in a few hours without showing any desire to waste time making tactical decisions. You've been banging your head against a brick wall for more than a year now. All since you managed to eek every bit of talent and confidence out of a talented squad by making them terrified to death of losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumboldowl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 He said we were going to hit the ground running. We've certainly hit the floor, but we weren't running. Talk is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the last group I'd ever criticize I think they're part of the problem, but also part of the solution. Rhodes, Hooper, Fletcher, Nuhiu, Winnall- they're just not the kind of forwards that make things happen for themselves, and unfortunately they way we are setting up, they're just not being provided with anything. We either need to commit to a more attacking game - in which case our strikers are perfectly fine, as they'll convert a high percentage of chances, or we need to think about shuffling the pack in the next 3 weeks and bringing in someone a bit more dynamic- like Joao, but proven.

Indoor Owl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 22 minutes ago, Whelan's Wonderland said: I'm sorry but an apology doesn't wash. You instructed them to play like that and we've seen it all before too often. In fact we played exactly like that at Deepdale last year and stole a point somehow. I'm reasonably certain the manager didn't instruct our players to play like confused school children on the right flank. That seems to be something Boyd and Hunt worked out on their own accord. Would have been a very different looking game with Wallace on from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dynamic, proven goalscorer? Good luck with that, esp with us on the FFP edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC123456789 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I have to wonder who is actually managing the team. Is DC perhaps instructing Carlos to play in a certain way? It seems impossible to me that after playing the exact same last season and failing that he would repeat the exact same manoeuvres this season? Should it be Chansiri not Carlos out?
